If you're trying to land a record deal, nothing works better than hitting the road, playing hundreds of shows, and selling thousands of CDs from the trunk of your car...
If you're a songwriter, moving to Los Angeles, New York, or Nashville and "paying your dues" is often the best way to go to get upfront exposure to major musicians and studio's.
But, can you just walk away from your life, your job, your family, and your mortgage payment?
Okay, that might be tempting, but let's get real! You need a vehicle to help you get your music to the right people, at XXtremee Music Shopping.we do just that!
XXtremee Music Shopping Services will help you do that no matter where you live...
What Is XXtremee Music Shopping?
We're the industry's leading Independent Artist & Repertoire Company. As a matter of fact, we created independent Music A&R more than 2 decades ago. Since 1982, XXtremee Music Shopping has specialized in giving artists, bands, and songwriters real access to the people in the music business who have the power to get air play, distribute and sign deals.
Record companies, publishers, and music supervisors call us directly to find new artists and bands to review. They also call us to find hit songs, instrumentals and tracks for TV and film placements.
We get the request, then give you the exact details about what type of music they're shopping for. The company requesting the material remains anonymous (for the time being)
to protect them from being bombarded with truckloads of unsolicited material and un wanted phone calls.
